Lonely

~By Carin Reading

Once again
In the middle of the night
Will you need me
To hold you tight
Once again
Each night I lay here wondering
Just where our love went wrong
If we are going to make it
Or if our time has come
As I lie awake in the darkness
And the silent tears fall
I cannot help but ask God
Why this has to be all
And He comes down from heaven
And wraps me in His arms
Filling me with His peace
And giving me strength to go on
I want you to reach for me
To bring your body close to mine
But instead you hide your face
And your back is all I find
As I wrestle with what to say
And fear the words will be in vain
I cry out His name
Then bow my head to pray
And He comes down from heaven
And wraps me in His arms
Filling me with His peace
And giving me strength to go on
So each night as I wonder
And gather the will to go on
I am crying out to God
So that someday our love will be strong
And He comes down from heaven
And wraps me in His arms
Filling me with His peace
And giving me strength to go on
And once again
In the middle of the night
You may need me
To hold you tight
Once again
